simple! just get a bigger screen, then even if it's a wide screen, you can have a lot of lines on it

I think I'm going to patent a very small laptop screen with extremely high definition, that comes with a free magnifying glass...

I just can't get used to multi-monitor configuration so I stick to my Dell U2711. Having the 2560px width is priceless!

It took me about a week to get used to my second monitor. Even less time to get used to my third monitor. Now I have a hard time at home with only 1 monitor.

Well I started with 2 monitors and after 3 months I was not able to get used to. So I got just one, but a big one and I'm a happy boy!

On one PC and landscape on the other.
They used to be attached to the same machine but when I built my new one there was not enough in the budget for a new monitor so I split them.
I used to use the square one for my email client and reference docs and the other for whatever I am working on. That pattern has continued but now split across two PCs as well as screens.

I have the left in landscape and this is the 'main' monitor where I do most of my work.
The right is in portrait, and I mainly use that for Outlook, and for 'reference' documents.
I started this a few months ago, by balancing an old monitor on it's side when I upgraded to Outlook 2010 and realised you could no longer hide email headers (the option is still there, but the functionality has been disabled) so there was precious little room left for the list and the body.
Since doing it I found it very useful for lots of other stuff, such as xml files which I often have to work with at the moment, or lists of stuff that I am working through, as well as pdf / docs I am working against.

With a large enough monitor you can have two pages visible at the same time.
And I don't like linebreaks in code just because there isn't enough space.

Although I still look at options for rotating monitors my 27 inch landscape monitor at home is fine for coding. I use it similar to my 2 4:3 CRT monitors at work. Yes I have 12+ year old CRT monitors on my desk at work.

once I started working with LCD Displays, CRT displays just were not bright enough, and my eyes felt strained looking at them all day. Especially if I had an LCD display right next to it.

And I won't exchange them for landscapes... never.
Wouldn't mind an extra 19' though.

so do I here. I have a second machine + monitor here, so I have 3 LCD on my desk which is loaded with that.

I had 2x19" (1280x1024 each)......and swapped them for 1x 30" 2560x1600. In this instance, I would have to say New is better than Old!

Where is last option, "Depend on work to do"
Landscape :
Good for developer, they get more space to read and debug the code. basically for visual studio environment, landscape mopnitors are good choice.
Portrait:
Good for people who works on documentation, excel data, sprade sheets.
Since only a few types of documents has landscape orientation, the portrait view makes better use of the space by allowing you to see and work with more of your document without constant scrolling
surely, it's Depend on work to do

You adjust your monitor depending on work?! I mean, seriously, question is simple 'Is your monitor landscape or portrait?'
I have square monitors (single at home, dual at work), so orientation doesn't matter.

Landscape monitor is really good for IDE's like VS with multiple toolbar and floating panels.

code and designer. code and code. code and firefox. word doc and firefox. word doc and code.
I have 2 24"'s at home and like to view things side by side on the same monitor, so I use landscape.
